    I was missing this part of my overall sound and didn’t realize it until i bought it. Great quality as well. A bit pricey but worth it

    First off, if you're just getting into home theater these work just, It wasn't bad but like I returned it a couple days later. My issue that I found was just it really couldn't handle a lot of stuff going on at once things started to get lost or it just started to get harsh to listen to. If you listen in a quietly, it's probably much better, but whenever I'm spending this kind of money, it's so I can listen to it at a fairly decent level. If I hadn't been in audio for as long as I have it probably would have been fine but I just picked these things apart listening to them.

    After researching several options I bought this R-30C center channel speaker for my home theater. I really love this speaker because it’s slim and fits nicely with my Klipsch Reference R-26FA 5.1 home theater system. The voice clarity is good and picks up high frequencies nicely.

    Doesn't matter if I watch TV, Movies, listen to music or play games....anything and I mean ANYTHING I listen to has the clearest vocal soundstage I have heard. As far as clarity it gives a much higher priced and larger Martin Logan center a run for its money. Once you get past the lower mids is the only place bigger more expensive units may start to take the cake. But for me I have other speakers that are tuned to hit those, plus its wider soundstage allows it to blend seamlessly allowing for the strong clear voices to continue to shine. Plus if you have a receiver that allows you to widen your center stage (if that you thing) because of the 5 speaker design and wide placement, this is the center that will fill your needs while saving you some $$.

    These speakers are great! Very powerful for your center stage. Build quality is amazing like all Klipsch products. My only slight issue was that the sound is a bit muddy. The center channel is used mostly for dialogue so it needs to be accurate for the high treble, but it's very boomy. I needed to EQ some high end and remove most of its low end for the clarity to really shine. Other than that its great!

    Can’t go wrong with this Klipsch center channel speaker in my opinion. The speaker has a phenomenal clean, crisp sound that you would expect from Klipsch. Love the low profile footprint of the speaker as well. Looks great on a full length entertainment system table. The speaker may be a little long for you if you entertainment table is short so you may want to measure the length of your table before buying. I have owned Klipsch speakers for over 20 years and they are worth the investment. My current Klipsch 125-watt center speaker channel is 20 years old and still works and sounds just as good as the day I bought it! It goes to show just how good the durability and quality of their speakers are. Very pleased with the recent upgrade I made to this more powerful center channel speaker.

    Honestly, I couldn't find any reviews on this piece so I will write my own. Firstly, it's crystal clear and definitely a center piece. Secondly, it looks good. The copper and black just goes together

    I had what I thought was the best audio file equipment available and then I bought some Clish speakers for my surround sound 7+2 system. I was missing so much. The speaker makes a huge difference in watching movies and listening to music.

    I had an older Klipsch center but it was too tall and not aesthetically appealing. Had swapped it out for a boss center speaker a ways back and was never really happy with it. Recently we picked up a new 85” TV and needed something with the dimensions of this new center speaker with some nice aesthetics for the family room. It sounds great and we can decide when we want the cover on or off to get a different look under the TV. Really pleased all around
